Daily COVID-19 cases may reach 17,000 if health measures ignored – DOH
Compliance with minimum public health standards in the Philippines has dropped by 20% to 22%, according to the Department of Health (DOH).
This decline in adherence to health protocols, coupled with increased public mobility and low booster uptake, is projected to cause a surge in COVID-19 cases.
Nationally, the DOH estimates that daily COVID-19 cases could reach between 3,800 and 5,300 by mid-July.
However, if Filipinos continue their current level of compliance, daily cases may reach up to around 17,105 by end-July.
The DOH reported that COVID-19 cases continued to rise across all regions in the Philippines, with Metro Manila showing a steep increase.
